## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A great place for our little one to grow: As a parent, it's been wonderful to see my child settle into a new school and feel so comfortable. The soft start to the day has really helped her transition, and the classroom teams are fantastic. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful school in West Row. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with kind staff: We've been at West Row Academy for two years now and can't speak highly enough of the school. The staff are so kind and supportive, and the facilities are amazing. Our child has really thrived here, especially with all the extra-curricular activities on offer. *(May 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good experience, but some room for improvement: We had a good experience at West Row Academy, but there were a few things that didn't quite meet our expectations. The phonics program was excellent, but some of the teaching staff could have been more engaged with the children. That being said, the school has a great ethos and the facilities are top-notch. *(Aug 2021)*
